Milton’s magnificent location ensures something for everyone whether you’d like to spend time on the pristine beaches, adventure in the mountainous forested hinterland, muck around in boats,or any more of myriad other activities only minutes away.

The welcoming friendliness of the locals is wholeheartedly country and an atmosphere of creativity and personality is evident in the diverse artistry and craftsmanship on show at venues throughout the township.

Milton is also the gateway to the Budawang Ranges.

Coastline walks and trails feature wildflowers, unique Australian fauna and coastal forests, but climbing Pigeon House earns a badge of honour.
